Now you know why I ask the "stupid questions". :D I was trying to determine what was different between those that had success and those of us that didn't. Recovery seemed unlikely, but, at least possible. Now we know it's not just me that had issues with solarnz eos recovery so that's good. Now maybe it can get debugged and fixed.
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
You nailed it bro. I can 100% confirm that you simply have to flash the radio pack using Rogue Recovery. Why? I got no clue. But I now see my upgraded lte baseband and all network info. And I'm disconnected. So "Go Rogue" but come back :eek::p:cool::D
[Xoom Android Development] SamuriHL:
At least we know. :) And yes, I'll be putting EOS recovery back. I love the goo manager integration. I'm just glad we were able to figure it out. Awesome community as always. :)
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
For sure. And squashed in record time too. And we are VERY glad for that.
[Xoom Android Development] SamuriHL:
Wait....you don't think Motorola, Google, and Verizon provide that level of support? :rolleyes: :D

So as of right now, Team EOS recovery has problems flashing radios and kernels. Just so everyone knows.
[Xoom Android Development] Dane Bagley:
I used Team Rogue Recovery to flash the new radios, nightly 95, and gapps as directed in the previous posts and it worked perfectly. I now have full 4G bars and everything is working great. I will try the new theme settings tomorrow. Thank you Team EOS you have made my Xoom better than new.

Let's not go fooling ourselves here (so tempted to use the original quote from "Pulp Fiction" :)) , but Moto/Google/VZ wouldn't have had this issue in the first place.
[Xoom Android Development] twinkyz1979:
LMAO i find that most ROM's outside the OTA things seem to work much better and if not problems get solved much faster. That is why i love the dev community a whole bunch more than i could ever love some corporate suit.
[Xoom Android Development] REHolt218:
I can confirm that the same procedure works with the Stingray Cornerstone nightly #34. It still doesn't solve all the radio problems on Cornerstone, but then, I have learned to live with them as only a minor annoyance.

---------- Post added at 07:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 AM ----------

With all the radio problems yesterday I dropped cornerstone and went to Stingray nightly #94 for awhile. I decided to try connecting to my ELM 327 Bluetooth and everything work as expected. Once the radio problem was resolved I went back to Cornerstone. The ELM pairing was still listed and the code was stored from previous pairing so it now works on Cornerstone.

Just one more thing to but in the Cornerstone issues column.

Thanks for the help hchxoom!
[Xoom Android Development] SamuriHL:
Right but that's only because vzw insists on testing everything for months. That's good and bad...
[Xoom Android Development] Vnvjeep:
Thanks... just didn't think that rogue recovery would make the difference... I thought it was all about doing stuff in a specific order with the reboot before applying the ROM. Thanks for proving me wrong! ;-)
[Xoom Android Development] SamuriHL:
I wasn't sure at first if it was the order or recovery so I just documented exactly the steps I took to make it work. Now that we know recovery can make a difference we'll be prepared next time. :)
[Xoom Android Development] bigdave240:
Worked for me! Thanks a lot for getting this done so quickly

[Xoom Android Development] Moricon:
This worked great. Thank you

On now for my silly question. How do i access the theme choser? I see it in the app list when I go into settings but don't see in the app draw or setting. I am sure I am just missing it.

Great work as always. Thank you
[Xoom Android Development] rob62551:
Yea, what gives mjamocha! :)

Man I'd be enjoying some black velvet...so get busy. Please! :D
[Xoom Android Development] Mjamocha:
LoL, yeah Rob bring something to the table. Weez hungry!
[Xoom Android Development] Hasherx1:
Go to settings then interface and there is "select theme" at the top.
[Xoom Android Development] cydetrakd:
Glad the theme engine is incorporated only thing missing from the king of Xoom rooms. Can anyone list what themes work right now tried a few ones out nothing worked for me.
[Xoom Android Development] otis_bartleh:
Dang it, first time I manually flash a radio on my Xoom and things go a bit crazy... Anyone happen to have the radio from the prior build?
[Xoom Android Development] kcrudup:
I bought two days after launch, so 8 months- and the LTE worked without a single issue.

... so, what's your point?!
[Xoom Android Development] Tom_S:
Are you on Nightly #95? If so, review the thread, especially posts 2074 & 2077 and you should have your solution.
[Xoom Android Development] freeky1:
Is the download server down right now? I have been trying to download the radio flash file for a couple hours, and keep getting server errors.
[Xoom Android Development] Tom_S:
It certainly seems to be down.
[Xoom Android Development] otis_bartleh:
If my solution was there I wouldn't have asked... Looking to roll back the radio...
[Xoom Android Development] SamuriHL:
I sent you a PM.
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
Getting a bit cleaned up.
[Xoom Android Development] otis_bartleh:
Thanks, problem solved!

Looks slick!
[Xoom Android Development] freeky1:
Using the Rogue Recovery worked, but killed my EOS Recovery. I forget how to put the EOS Recovery back on my SD card...
[Xoom Android Development] runandhide05:
Don't know about you but I'd rather have shotty 4g for 8 months than none...
[Xoom Android Development] SamuriHL:
All kinda of ways to do it. USB cable, dropbox, etc. I just throw it in my dropbox and export it onto the sd card. Then flash it with your current recovery.
[Xoom Android Development] EtchG:
Ok...now that the ROM has the theme ability...is there a site where themes like the above can be downloaded and used? The above looks awesome.
[Xoom Android Development] runandhide05:
Android market. Search for theme Chooser or cm9 theme Chooser
[Xoom Android Development] freeky1:
Thanks! I will try that now!

---------- Post added at 05:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:26 PM ----------

Wow! It worked like a charm! Now I have both on there, so I can switch back and forth as needed!
[Xoom Android Development] SamuriHL:
Exactly. That's how I do it now, as well. :) Switch as needed and go back to EOS for your "daily" recovery :D
[Xoom Android Development] liftman-:
radio updates and latest rom cured my 6 week no 4g problem.

rouge recovery was needed for radio update. (flashed back afterwards, to slow)

thanks to all
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
I'm telling you guys, there is a market opportunity for clean tablet themes. I searched "cm9 theme tablet" on market and got like 10 hits, half were bs. A talented themer can make some serious money if they act.
[Xoom Android Development] runandhide05:
Need to figure out who theme Chooser works...
[Xoom Android Development] hchxoom:
So what are you using, brd? Looks a lot better than anything on market.
[Xoom Android Development] Moricon:
Yep I just missed it. Thanks much.
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
Dude I tore a few themes apart to see what the resource naming conventions are. Its easy peasy. Ill look around for some tutorials. I think we need a eos theme info thread. But I ain't gonna maintain it. Volunteers?

[Xoom Android Development] kcrudup:
No, I'm sure you actually wouldn't, and anyone on VZ's network should be glad they didn't succumb to the kind of short-sighted thinking in your post above. VZ's LTE deployment and CDMA/eHRPD transition has been (save a few outages in the beginning) nearly flawless, and the coverage is near-ubiquitous in most major population centers- and where it is, it's consistently fast. I doubt that would have been the case had they rushed devices and firmware onto their network without adequate testing and deployment (esp. when you consider LTE is still a new and evolving technology).

I'll bet had they half-assed it, you'd've been complaining- and loudly at that.

BTW, I was going to ping you about this yesterday, 'till I realized I hadn't put those files on my Dropbox (they were at work, 350 miles away). But if anyone else needs to downgrade their LTE/CDMA firmware, let me know- I have the versions from HLK75:

[Xoom Android Development] freeky1:
Are you guys saying that the latest radio flash does not work well?
[Xoom Android Development] SamuriHL:
No. But if you want to use a pre-95 rom you need to downgrade the radios else you'll get no data.
[Xoom Android Development] freeky1:
OK, thanks. I'm on 95 and flashed my radios, but have not bothered pulling the 4g card out of my Bionic to see if it works. I appreciate all the help. This is my first time rooting since my Droid X.
[Xoom Android Development] otis_bartleh:
No worries, SamuriHL got my hooked up quick, but thanks!

Exactly, I didn't put much detail as to why since I wasn't having a ROM issue, but was testing different things, but the radio flash above does work well on 95.
[Xoom Android Development] ZanshinG1:
Both the original new radio link and the mirror are 404.

Where can I get the new radio zip?

edit:belay that, just had to fix the link
[Xoom Android Development] rosenhauer:
Well I feel like a dope. Couldn't get it to work yesterday and then this morning realized that ClockworkMod Recovery <> Rogue Recovery :o

Updated to rogue_XM-recovery-1.5.0-rc3.zip and it installed the radio no problem.

Now happily on 95 :)
[Xoom Android Development] SamuriHL:
Same recovery I used. Nice recovery, but, solarnz' is better in a couple of important ways IMO. So we just have to remember to switch when necessary.
[Xoom Android Development] bigdave240:
I dont have any 'real' data but the battery life on 95 seems to be improved. Right now i am at 23 hours and still have 28% left. Some of that was while on 4g (about 2 continuous hours) but most of it was on wifi. In previous versions i would occasionally get a popup saying that verizon had stopped but now it doesnt do that. The new radios also seem more robust as well. It was switching from 4g to 3g without a problem when i was in an extremely weak signal area. So far this seems like the best build i have tried so far! Great job.
[Xoom Android Development] kcrudup:
Aren't you glad it doesn't do that **** any longer?! I ended up having to freeze the VZ app 'cause I got tired of the FCs. :confused:
[Xoom Android Development] otis_bartleh:
Off topic, any chance of adding a sync button to the Eos toggles?
[Xoom Android Development] bigdave240:
yeah it was pretty annoying.
[Xoom Android Development] rlrbjr:
I need a little help. Ever since I flashed the new radios and nightly 95 my zoom will not enter deep sleep. As a result my battery life sucks. I'm running the same settings I've been running on nightlies and EOS 2.0. I have better battery stats and badass battery monitor and it looks like something to do with media but I don't know how to clear it up. Any suggestions.
[Xoom Android Development] SamuriHL:
I actually noticed something similar last night. Ever since I got rid of the CNN app, I've had no problems with deep sleep at all. However, last night the Xoom came out of sleep and the screen turned itself back on. Not sure what's causing it.
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
For me, the culprit was wifi. Make sure to set wifi so that it turns off when the device sleeps. There are countless factors that can cause battery and sleep issues.
[Xoom Android Development] rlrbjr:
Thanks for the suggestions. But no luck so far. I don't have the CNN app. OfficeSuite was looking a little suspicious so I uninstalled it. I tried changing the wifi sleep policy and even tried airplane mode for a while, but still no deep sleep and the battery is discharging at an alarming rate. Any other thoughts?
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
Grab BetterBatteryStats from the market. Its 3 bucks. It will give you full diagnostics on your battery issue.
[Xoom Android Development] kcrudup:
Any scheduled-backup programs?

How long did the screen stay on?

---------- Post added at 09:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 PM ----------

Try deleting data, then forcing stop on "Downloads" (or "Media"; I don't have my X right in front of me). Sometimes if the Media Scanner DB is AFU, then it'll take an out-of-memory exception (which shows no notification) then getting restarted by the activity manager.

I've actually been running with some patches from the Cyanogen folks that were posted up to the AOSP Gerrit that have apparently fixed my Media Scanner issues. I might end up having SolarNZ/BRD integrated 'em into the latest build.
[Xoom Android Development] freeky1:
My battery life was terrible on 95 until I flashed the radios. The Xoom was locking up when it was asleep, and after turning it off and back on, the battery had dropped about 20%. After flashing the radios and reapplying 95 and gapps, everything is great!
[Xoom Android Development] SamuriHL:
No scheduled backups at all. The screen came on in the middle of the night and stayed on until I woke up. I changed the wifi setting as recommended and it didn't wake up last night so we'll see.
[Xoom Android Development] JoshWithrow:
I am experiencing some horrid battery life, too, running 95. I see that people are being told to flash their radios, but I don't see any links to firmware/instructions.

Anybody willing to give me a hand?
[Xoom Android Development] electroman987:
Look back and yu will see.
[Xoom Android Development] SamuriHL:
And make sure you flash it with Rogue Recovery. That is the one that worked for most of us.
[Xoom Android Development] serranom:
Definitely flash radio even if you are not using it because that stopped the drain issue with my xoom.
[Xoom Android Development] freeky1:
+1
[Xoom Android Development] kcrudup:
Yeah, we should bold that it's a MUST to take the new Radios after that build (? 93?). What's happening to you guys who haven't yet is the RIL is constantly looking for a message from the Radio(s) that they're up (or registered, etc.) and since the messages no longer match, it spins forever, holding a wakelock.
[Xoom Android Development] serranom:
Latest nightly 96 was buggy on my Xoom. Seems like someones continually tapping on top right of my screen. Anyone else have the same issue. Nandroid back to 95.
[Xoom Android Development] Tom_S:
I've been on 96 for a couple of hours. Flawless so far. Maybe you had a bad download. It's happened to me before.
[Xoom Android Development] serranom:

[Xoom Android Development] rob62551:

[Xoom Android Development] bigdave240:
is it safe to assume that I don't have to re-flash the radios going from 95 to 96? sort of a nubi here sorry!
[Xoom Android Development] SamuriHL:
Correct. Once you flash them you're good to go from here on out.
[Xoom Android Development] bigdave240:

[Xoom Android Development] freeky1:
How do you hide the status bar?
[Xoom Android Development] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
Long press power button to bring up power menu. At the bottom it should say Show/hide the status bar.

Is there a list of themes some where? The play store themes all seem to be xhdpi ldpi no mdpi.
[Xoom Android Development] freeky1:
I get 4 options...Power Off, Reboot, Recovery, and Bootloader. The option to show/hide the status bar is not there.
[Xoom Android Development] freeky1:
Doh! Nevermind. I turned it on under Interface.
[Xoom Android Development] Vnvjeep:
I can't seem to find this anywhere, but how do you set your wifi to turn off when the device sleeps? Thanks in advance... :)

EDIT -- never mind... grr... there's an advanced dropdown under the wifi section <kicking self>
[Xoom Android Development] bigdave240:
settings>wifi>upper right hit the 4 dots next to 'add network'>Advanced you will see it as an option there
[Xoom Android Development] rlrbjr:
I flashed the new radios with rogue recovery. That seemed to go OK , but in about tablet there is no baseband. I should also point out that I currently don't have verizon data service activated, I'm just using it as a wifi Xoom.

Can some let me know what they are seeing for baseband in About Tablet after flashing the new radios?

What version of rogue recovery are you using?

Thanks.
[Xoom Android Development] SamuriHL:
Don't bother with any of that nonsense. If it's unknown it didn't flash right.

I can confirm it's not working in 96. It's crashing and reloading itself when you try to play a video.
[Xoom Android Development] freeky1:
Yes, Netflix is dead in 96. 96 has 86'ed Netflix.

[Xoom Android Development] rob62551:
Be sure and go to settings status bar and check off show hide status bar in power menu. If you don't have this option checked it will not show up in power menu.

Then long press power button as Mandelbrot says above.
[Xoom Android Development] rlrbjr:
Thanks. This newer version did the trick. My baseband is showing up and deep sleep is back. Thanks for your help.
[Xoom Android Development] SamuriHL:
Awesome. Glad I could help.
[Xoom Android Development] JoshWithrow:
Just a quick update I flashed 96, then installed gapps, proceeded to flash radios again. I deleted cache and dalvic, rebooted and my 4 g is back. Also, I used rogue to accomplish all of this. Thanks for the help.

[Xoom Android Development] xxspark89xx:
I agree. I would NOT flash anything on my device, import my credentials and so forth unless it has been broken down and thoroughly inspected by a well-known dev or has been released by a well-known source.

Seriously, I hardly see a benefit from flashing this over what is already provided by Team EOS. If anything good was to come from any other release, I'm surely confident that Team EOS would incorporate the 'goodness' into their builds. (i.e. Working Camera, HDMI, etc.)

When I update to the next build (for example from 9 to 11) it undoes and seems to uninstall gapps , then I have to reinstall the gapps, then I have to reset my google info

Any help on this?

[Xoom Android Development] neomorphix:

[Xoom Android Development] Nusince:
That is normal behavior. Just you need to re-flash G-Apps after each nightly. This is because some of the gapps files are removed and overwritten as part of the update process.
